| At a Challenger Learning
Center of Alaska, students fly simulated space missions. The
Learning Centers offer students the next best thing to actual
space flight with a Mission Control room designed after NASA
Johnson Space Center and an orbiting space station. When students
arrive at a Challenger Learning Center, they are first greeted
by Learning Center representatives decked out in NASA flight
suits. These Flight Directors, many of them former classroom
teachers, provide an orientation briefing in which the students
are given an overview of the mission, as well as their crew
assignments. |

| Picture a place where children’s
faces light up the second they enter, where “oohs”
and “ahhs” are commonplace and where exciting, interactive
learning is a cornerstone. Imagine such a place right here in
Anchorage. Imagine the Imaginarium!
The Imaginarium, Alaska's only hands-on Science
Discovery Center, is designed as a place where people can
have fun learning about science by actually doing science.
Located in downtown Anchorage, The Imaginarium resembles a
living laboratory where you can stand inside a bubble, ponder
the magnitude of the universe in a planetarium, discover ocean
life in a marine touch tank, observe and touch exotic reptiles,
or learn the principles of physics while playing with specialized
toys.
Whatever the project or activity, you can
be sure that it is designed to change children's attitudes
about science by letting them ask the questions and look for
their own answers. When it comes to creative, hands-on exhibits,
demonstrations and curricula, The Imaginarium wins hands down!!
